High Frequency of Inversions During Eukaryote Gene Order Evolution

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Computational Biology ((COBO,volume 1))

Abstract

We propose the hypothesis that DNA inversions have been a much more significant factor in genomic evolution than previously supposed. We suggest that a high frequency of small inversions may be a general feature of genome evolution in eukaryotes, based on anecdotal evidence from representatives of three eukaryotic kingdoms: fungi, plants and animals.
